Pivoted to the bracket-bar, near its outer end, is an angular brace 2O having its lower end 21 divided to fit the corner 15, and this brace is preferably supported troni the bracketbar by a stay 22, which perinits the brace to be folded against the bracket-bar. Preferably, the outer end of the bracket-bar will be tornied with an upwardly-extending lip 23, to assist in holding the scatlold boards in place.

I thus provide a scaffold bracket for the corners of buildings which is simple in construction, readily iiXed in position, and supported by the corner-studdingl clarin 1. A scaffold bracket, comprising a bracket-bar having integral rigid inner ends arranged at right angles, a brace pivotally connected with the bracket-bar and pro` vided at its lower end with ends at right angles to each other, means adapted to-be engaged with corner-studdings and extend ing ont through the inner ends of the bracket-bar, to which said means are connected.
